The Advance in Prices OF Stocks Coo
tinue without Reaction.


New YoRH, Sept 1.-The advance which
begun yesterday in the stock marker pro
pressed to day and without reaction WORTHY
Of the name. All the prominent operators
talked bullish, and backed their talk bv
buying orders, but the great bulk OF the
purchases were TO cover shorts. The an
nouncement Of the reduction In cable rates
by the Commercial company caused halt In
the advance, and the bears bid up money
to per cent. In the hope Of bringing about
a decline. Western Union only was af-
f,cted.
A few OF the specialties made marked
advances during the day. The few sales BY
London on the advance in the bank OF
Entlsnd rate encouraged the bears to re-
sist the general current, but the attempt
was given up late In the day aud the IN lr-
ket became boyant toward the close. The
market closed active aud strong at the best
figures OF the day.
Money on call has been active, ranging
from toS, last loan at 8 and closing offer
ed at 8. Sterling exchange is steady aud
dull. Actual business at 4S0l to IS0l for
GO day bills, and 4S39 to 1882 for demand
Posted rates, 4Sl1 to ass. Government
touds dull, but steady to firm. State bonds
have been entirely neglected. --....

The President Slips or aud Takes TO
himself a wife.

There is sadness IN the Bachelors Club
OF the first precinct, aud O)lcer John Boz
land is the cause OF the trouble. the little
band had sworn to be true to one another
until the 'ttal board or something else
made them part. They swore that cupid
should he locked up II he came among
them with his bow and arrow. John was
the head and front OF the club, and 1t
would be death almost to say that he
was intent on marriage. His handsome form
was the idol Of many OF Westinghouse
pretty girls, and many were the furttve
glances they cast at him. None knew,
however, Of the feelings that have OF late
found their way within Ms breast, and
when ii, ut. Am ss yesterday told his men
that Officer Buland was To be married In
the evening IT. paralyzed the boys. The
statement Of the lieutenant was true, aud
the many friends who were present In St..
Domipic's Church O O'Clock last evening
will bear 1t out. At the altar stood
Oflic,r John Boland and beside him
Miss Bridget Danaher. In few minutes
time Father DOnnelly made them man aud
wife. Miss Annie Mclaughlin was the
bridtemaid and Mr. Quade the best
man The bride looked Lovely, Ms all brides
do, and wore AN exquisite wedding dress.
After the ceremony Mr. aud Mrs. BOland
went to COG q street northeast, their future
home, and held a reception. For several
hours there was constant 6tream OF friends
calling. Shortly after So'clock Lieut.. hmlss
and sergt. IleiIner headed the Bachelors
Club aud took possession. The pretty eyes
Of the bride just broke up the wrath of the
club. "John," said Onicer Kendall, after
giving g sly glance at Mrs. BIlaud, ave
forgive YOU" and Lieut. Amiss Kissed the
bride, and the .'boys" felt like blowing
distress calls through envy. The NATIONAL
REruBLlcAs wishes Mr.. and Mrs. Bolaud

OYSTERS AND GAME.
Opening of the Season with Small Re-
turns,

The crack OF the shotgun could be heard
on every aero of marsh land bordering on
the District OF Columbia yesterday. 1t was
the beginning of the reed bird and ortolan
season, Every available skill 10 town must
have been on the upper or lower Potnm &C.,
aud each skill contained either one or two
persons, while hundreds OF men and boys.
armed with improved brt ech leaders or old
muskets, were out wading in pursuit of
gome. The reports show that the marsh
birds are very scarce this season, reed
birds and ortolan especially so. Black
birds are quite splentiful and very fat.
Prof. John p. S0usa, Chief Clerk Mciinn
Of the health Office, Capt. Charles Hutton,
Vim. Wagner, ana Col William Guy were
among the sportsmen out.
The oyster season was also formally and
legally opened yesterdav, the laws of Vir-
ginia and Maryland permitting dredging
In those states. Oysters received here
yesterday were not especially well favored,
and the average epcure will wait few
days before ordering his "half dozen on the
half she'll" The season, 1t is predicted by
oyster sellers, will be good one

Grave Difference of Opinion.

There is a grave difference Of opinion be-
tween Secretary Bayard and Assistant Sec
retsry Porter relative to the fisheries ques-
tion. Mr.. Bayard insists that the President
is empowered, under the constitution, to
appoint commissioners to negotiate with
the board appointed by the British foreign
ofce while Mr.. Porter on tue other hand
is equally positive that the President has no
such right, 1t is probable that the Attorney
General will be called upon for an ofllcial
